Method Detail

appliesToDialect

boolean appliesToDialect(Dialect dialect)

Does this database object apply to the given dialect?

Parameters:

dialect - The dialect to check against.

Returns:

True if this database object does apply to the given dialect.

beforeTablesOnCreation

boolean beforeTablesOnCreation()

Defines a simple precedence. Should creation of this auxiliary object happen before creation of tables? If true, the auxiliary object creation will happen after any explicit schema creations but before table/sequence creations; if false, the auxiliary object creation will happen after explicit schema creations and after table/sequence creations. This precedence is automatically inverted for dropping.

Returns:

true indicates this object should be created before tables; false indicates it should be created after.

sqlCreateStrings

String[] sqlCreateStrings(Dialect dialect)

Gets the SQL strings for creating the database object.

Parameters:

dialect - The dialect for which to generate the SQL creation strings

Returns:

the SQL strings for creating the database object.

sqlDropStrings

String[] sqlDropStrings(Dialect dialect)

Gets the SQL strings for dropping the database object.

Parameters:

dialect - The dialect for which to generate the SQL drop strings

Returns:

the SQL strings for dropping the database object.
